Maven build order

[Sony Antony <so...@gmail.com>]

We have a fairly large project, that uses teh following 3 constructs in
various pom files
<dependency>
<parent>
<module>


Given that, will maven reactor come out with the correct order after
considering all of these ?
I inherited this project recently from somebody else.
I havent completed my investigation. but it appeared that it doesnt consider
<parent> clause while deciding teh build order. Could this be true ?

Generally yes the reactor will figure out the correct build order.

Thanks
This Project starts their build at a pom which pulls in many other pins
though <module> statements
Which in turns pulls in even more poms
Some of these are dependencies of others
Some are parents of others
Some are launched as modules of others
In this scenario should it be expected that maven reactor  will figure out
the correct build order and will follow that ( I mean it will make sure that
parents are built first. And similarly that dependencies are built first )

The parent and dependencies must exist, either in a repo (heavily
preferred) or via a specified relative path.  It does not "build"
parent or a dependency, as with a module (or itself).

However, if module A is a dependency of module B and both are listed
as modules of a common parent, when you run a build of the parent,
Maven will build them in the correct order: A, B.
